PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP.

I recently purchased a Sunbeam Artista EM5900 model coffee machine. I plugged it in and pressed the 'Power' button only to find the power go out. I understand this is short circuiting, so I went and turned the power back on. I then moved the machine to a different powerpoint and plugged it in - the same problem happened and I have tried it countless times on various other powerpoints. Help please?

Try it in a different part of the house. If it works then you have too many things running in the kitchen.\015\012If it still blows a breaker then it is shorted out and needs to be returned. ...

Have oiled my Bernina 707 minimatic 1970 sewing machine and I have power when I press the foot pedal, but when the handwheel is tensioned none of the mechanism under the free arm cover plate moves. I went to sew something and the needle jammed. I took the covers off and there is no debris - it was all oiled and left overnight. Now the Take up lever doesn't move and is in the down position.

Our beautiful Bernina 730 sewing machine has been stored in the garage in its original case, and that wrapped in plastic, for a few years now. Temperatures have been both hot and cold in the garage, but the environment was dust-free.
We have brought the Bernina in, set it up, oiled it as specified in the manual, with the original sewing machine oil. We have correctly threaded the machine and the bobbin thread is up.
When we press on the pedal to sew, the machine gets electricity and buzzes

Hello and thank you for using Fixya ....From what you describe there can be only 2 causes...Either the machine is still stuck ..and the motor buzzes cause it can not spin it ..and in this case it needs to be oiled more..and be spun by hand unt ...

I put the flashlight on the charging area and the thing went nuts.
I unplugged it and plugged it back in and it went dead.

I think I have bad news for you. It sounds to me like you put the flashlight made out of metal, that conducts electricity across the pins of your cordless vacuum cleaner charger and accidentally short circuited the charger and it went po ...

Hi! I'm interested in purchasing a G3 model ; however , the seller says that the machine was working perfectly and then when switching power on a while later , the machine was " dead " . Other than the brushes , power switch or lead , is there perhaps a fuse at all which could possibly have burned out ? Thanks .

Greetings from GoVacuum.com,Unfortunately there is no fuse on a Kirby Generation model. In my 10 years of repairing Kirby's as well as other vacuums, I will tell you that 9 times out of 10, when a Kirby Generation doesn't turn on, it's t ...

It will work-about 1 in 50 times of trying. when i put in a file and press MDR button it makes a whirring sound and the screen will say any one of several things e.g.no disc or corrupt file.If the data file is put in before machine is switched on-i then get YAMAHA MDF 2 and nothing happens when i press the mdf button.

The unit is basically a floppy backup machine. In your case the actual floppy reading unit has failed. Since this is a custom mechanism it means that the unit is pretty much dead - no replacement parts for it. If you are willing to try everythi ...

Is there a recall on the Euro-Flex Monster 1200 Handheld Steam Cleaner, because steam build-up, but does not release, when pressing down on the trigger? How safe is this machine, and how many consumer has bought this machine, and having problem? And why hasn"t there been a repair kit, or something been sent out by the "Company", to solve the problem?

My Singer Sewing machine (model 6215) is now only sewing in reverse. After pressing the backstitch button, the button seemed to stick in the backstitch position. I was finally able to pull the button out but my machine continues to only stitch backwards. What do I do now?

It's stuck inside. Open it up so you can see inside the bottom, look for the feed dog mechanism and you'll find where length of step is varied, this is where the reversing takes place too. Tapping gently and oiling will free it up.lp ...

Vacuum dead I have oreck XLx2 bagged upright - the belt ,plug and cord have been replaced - has been working great - now went to plug it in and it does not work - the light goes on in the on/off switch so power is working but vacuum is dead - any suggestions

If the cord coming from the bottom up to the handle is loose, and is a plug, push it in. If that doesn't help. then could be a problem with the motor. One other thing to check is inside the handle, maybe a wire came loose. ...

I have a Eureka Central Vac CV1601b. The motor does not stop unless the Unit is unplug from the electrical outlet. Any Idea?.I removed the control unit to check if there was disconnected wires or burnt wires. Everything look normal. The circuit board does not show area that overheated. There seem to be 2 relays. Likely one of the two went bad. What do you think.

If the unit is relay controlled, there is always the possibility that when the unit was turned on, the relay contacts welded themselves shut making the power button ineffective. \015\012\015\012If you're familiar with relay pinouts, with ...

I cannot get the sprays from either the bottom or the handpieces to work. I only get a short "gurgle" of fluid when I first press the controls. I have cleaned both the top and bottom cap and insert parts, and I have turned the machine off and on numerous times, have allowed it several minutes to warm up. But still no luck.

Hi I need help because I have a problem with my Electrolux Centralux Central Vac system in my house. When I plug the vac hose in the central vac socket at first I heard the motor running very gently with NO suction then after a minute or so it went completely dead and they is NO motor sound, suction, or anything happening what so ever. Can anyone tell me what this problem is???

Have you checked for a clog in the lines or in the hose? If there is no clog in the system anywhere, then your motor could be dying. ...

I have an Electrolux LITE upright carpet cleaner - about 15 years old. Suddenly last night when using it, from the normal motor (whooshing) sound, the motor suddenly went very slow and with a slight grinding sound. The brushes are now just turning round very slowly and areobviously not picking up anything. Has the motor gone or is this repairable, or should I just get a new cleaner? I have tried to open the machine from the bottom to see if anything is obviously wrong, but it looks complicated a

My problem is the leak is right where clean water tank sits, its on the bottom where it attaches to machine!!! i went through the booklet for instruction , i found nothing! what could it be?

My Roomba 4210 plays the dead battery song 10 seconds after I press Clean, Spot or Max. But I notice that I can put my roomba in diagnostic mode (with brushes, wheels etc) for long periods of time with plenty of strong power. Why won't it clean for more than five seconds without that dreadful tune, flashing power light and an amber status light?

When i press the foot switch the machine does not switch on. Is there an internal fuse?

Don't think there is an internal fuse.\015\012If you have replaced or tested the plug top fuse & that's ok, it may be that the foot switch needs replacing or a wire has come loose from it. ...

Wattage thank you for your recent information I went to buy a transformer for my rainbow e series vacuum and they asked me the wattage of the machine do you have this information?

For most appliances, the wattage is mentioned in the owner's manual and also on a tag you might find some where on the device it self. it will mention the voltage, amperage and wattage. if the wattage is not specified, you can get it by multiplying t ...

Vacuum cleaner We have a panasonic MC-E47electronic which seems dead. It has a speed control which we nearly always had on full anyway. Have tested continuity through plug, flex and on/off switch and all OK. from then is open circuit through speed control which consist of slide rheostat and mystery small green box (2cm x 2cm x 1cm approx). Across motor there is negligable resistance. Machine is quite old and not worth paying out loads on poarts if it is safe to bypass speed control and connect

Does the philips active carbon filter FC 8033 fit the model of vacuum cleaner I own (HR 8903/A)? My catalog says I should replace with HR 6969 but was sold the FC 8033 filter. My machine seems to be overheating and I wonder if it has anything to do with the new filter.

The motor just went out on my 2 year old vacuum with light usage (hardwood floors in a very small house.) The Sears repairpeople are estimating ~ $130 to fix (this includes parts & labor). I'm wondering if it's worth investing $130 into something i've spent $350 on only 2 years ago. Shouldn't these machines last longer ? Is there something I could do to get them repair free as it seems the motor must have been faulty to only have lasted 2 years. Thoughts ?
